Jets rookie edge rusher David Bailey hit Mahomes' arm during a strip-sack in the second quarter, forcing a fumble that Will McDonald recovered at the Kansas City 30-yard line with 93 seconds remaining.
After being evaluated on the sidelines, Mahomes returned to the game on the following series without missing a snap, completing a 12-yard pass to Travis Kelce to lead the final drive of the half.
